    We're back after some busy months full of professional political obligations, but we're working on a consistent schedule! 😁 In this episode we talked about new and returning Latino candidates, leaders, and happenings. I go on a rant about not dying on "political hills" and Senator Anavitarte shares his thoughts on DAs. Ya'll wanna host a live forum talking about the use, the issues, and the feelings around the term "Latin-X?" If so, tell us!

    We're kickstarting 2023 with a semi interview featuring co-host Senator Anavitarte who became Georgia's 1st ever Latino legislator in Senate leadership. We also have a new speaker of the house, a new LG, and more fresh electeds than I've ever seen. It's a brave new world under the gold dome, but also some things remain the same. Governer Kemp, aka my old boss, is moving into his second term where he can do what he likes without fear of reelection...
